Creating second InfoView entry point for SAP users in XI 3.1

Hi All,
I have BOE XI 3.1 up and running with the Business Objects Integration kit SAP Solutions kit I would like to create a second infoview entry point for SAP users on the same physical box (single server) as regular InfoView.
I am trying to mock this up and have detailed the following steps below. I suspect I am missing a few steps (for example, where do I specify the entry port?). I am sure step 2 is wrong, as I the desktoplaunch no longer exists in Xi 3.1
1. Copy the InfoView.war file to a new directory ( Program Files/Business Objects/ Business Objects Enterprise 12.0/java/applications/sap). I imagine I would need to rename the war file (say SAPInfoview.war)?
2. Create a xml file with the following logic (the part in bold I consider to be wrong...):
<Context docBase="Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\java\applications\sap\SAPInfoview.war" path="/
businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch"
crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="false"
trusted="false"/>
3. Save the xml file (what name? does it matter) in Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\conf\Catalina\localhost
4. Restart Tomcat
5. Change the web.xml to make SAP security the default. But this should not be the regular infoview web.xml. I'm not sure where this would reside.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Ingo,
You've been working with Duncan and Sartaj on this. The client has two set of users: non HR which has no BW or R/3 authorization restrictions, and HR, which has authorization restrictions.
They have deployed SSO using AD for the non HR users. They also want to leverage InfoView rather than the SAP portal. For the HR users, we therefore need to capture the SAP id and password at login time to enforce security at the BW and R/3 levels. We could use the existing Infoview entry point (SSO will fail and they will be prompted for a SAP login). I do remember that we offered a second InfoView entry point for SAP users in XIR2. I thought this may be more elegant.
Thanks,
Steve

AD SSO with entry point for SAP users....

A client would like to use Active Directory (AD) Single Sign On rather than SAP for authentication purposes. There are two potential scenarios we would need to support:
Scenario 1, access to SAP BW (General Ledger, Profit Centre Accounting) and relational systems. There would be no security restrictions at the database level (OLAP and relational). The majority of users would access data from this scenario.
Scenario 2, access to HR SAP BW OLAP cube. SAP Security roles would be enforced.
Scenario 1 user and a scenario 2 user are not mutually exclusive. Therefore an HR user could have the rights to query a relational system or a non HR SAP system. Second, not all users in Scenario 1 will have an SAP account, but they will need to access non HR SAP data. Valero does not want to create new SAP accounts for these people.
I see two possible solutions:
1. Create two infoview entry points (eg different ports). One for AD SSO, the other for a SAP challenge and response. We used to have two infoviews in XIR2 when we deployed the SAP integration kit. How would I do this in 3.1?
2. Use Server Side Trust and SNC.
Can anyone offer any opinions of ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
you are correct that SNC for the client authentication and the server side trust (based on SAP Crypto. lib.) will solve this

Filtering Entry Points for Anonymous User

Any hint?

Web Page Composer: Problems creating entry points for iViews

Hi experts, i´ve been trying to add an iView to a page. I know i have to create an entry point to a folder created on the PCD.
I followed instructions on help link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/06/4776399abf4b73945acb8fb4f41473/content.htm
Now, when i try to create a new entry point link to the pcd folder i don´t see any navigation that can get me to the pcd.
Actually When i click the browse button it opens the Web Content folder where i can see 2 subfolders
- Cross-Site Content
- Sites
I also have this options:
- Favorites
- Personal Documents
- Recently used
- Common folders
- Public Documents
None of it seems to be the access to the PCD.
I´ll appreciate any help
Thanks in advance

Hi Sandeep,
i don't know if your problem was solved already.
Here a quick overview of all steps, that you need to perform.
1. Make your PCD available in the KM.( See Link below for details) Your folders need to have 'Read'-Permission for the Everyone-group!
2. Search your iView-folder now in the KM. Look at Details -> Properties -> Access Links -> ID
3. Provide this ID in the wpcDragExplorerEntryPoints . (Should be sharedcontent=/wpccontent/Cross-Site Content;/documents/MyFolder; /pcd)

Transport KM rooms as entry point for broadcasting from Portal 7.01 to Portal 7.4 possible?

Hallo together,
is it possible to transport entry points (for broadcasting) from one portal to another?
For our upgrade BW 7.01 to BW 7.4 we want to transport the KM Content (including the rooms).
Transporting the rooms and room structures is no problem, but the transported rooms are not visible in ENTRY POINTS -> My Room Folders.
Only rooms that are newly created in the 7.4 Portal are visible in that folder.
Is there are way to make the transported rooms also visible there?
Thanks and best regards!

Hi Ramakrishna!
I know that WP-PI 6.00 will work fine with R/3 4.6C but my doubt is if I can use WP-PI 6.00 (which is
EP 6.00 plug-in) to connect the R/3 4.6c with an EP 7.00.
I didn´t find anything like WP-PI 7.00 in SAP Marketplace. I´ve already read the note you pointed out but it refers to EP 6.00. It also says you can use WP-PI 6.00 por EP 5.0 or Sap Workplace. But can I also use it with EP 7.00?
Thanks for your help.

How to create new KM "Entry Point"

Hi Could someone guide me how to create a new Entry Point
(Note:Not the PCD navigation entry point)
"An entry point provider makes one or more folders available as links that you can access from a central point"
Thanks

Rocky,
Entry points allow you to navigate from an iView to various KM folders that may
be located in different repositories.

Hi
Elgibility for Certification:
You should either complete your training in any Authorized Training Center or Should have experience of more than 2 years(not sure if it is 2 or 3 now) in the said module.
If you dont have any of the above, then certification wont happen in India.

Entry point to SAP Netweaver Solution Development

Hello,
I come from the ABAP-developer side and have experience on SAP Netweaver ( esp. XI ) and what I would like to do is to develop a custom application that could be integrated in SAP Netweaver Platform as a service - what would be a good entry point for relevant information ?
Thanks for any ideas,

Hi,
Is the application developed using SAP NW Developer Studio or some other J2EE platform?
In case you would like to service-enable an existing application that was developed using SAP NW Developer Studio, I think you should check out https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/949ded1f-0b01-0010-f59f-d77cec1bf85d">this [original link is broken] [original link is broken]

Password Policy implementation for SAP users

Dear Friends,
We are planning to implement the Password Policy for SAP users in our organization...
Here my question is,
Letu2019s say that the Password Policy is implemented today, what will happen to the SAP usersu2019 passwords?
Will they be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy? Will there be a dialog box that will tell them what the criteria is for new passwords and its the time to change the password?
Thank you,
Nikee

Hi
Letu2019s say that the Password Policy is implemented today, what will happen to the SAP usersu2019 passwords?
SAP Users password will be intact till it prompts for next password change. Say, 90 Days. (Provided Parameter is not set)
Will they be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy? Will there be a dialog box that will tell them what the criteria is for new passwords and its the time to change the password?
They will not be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy (provided parameter is not set), During the time of changing the password they would get a dialog box if they have not met the specified criteria indicating that it should have specific values.
Once the password change prompt appears, in order to login to SAP they are forced to change password with password criteria set, other wise they can not login.
Thanks and Regards

Entry points for integrating Openoffice writer into Java swing application

I googled the web and also took a look in below 2 web sites, just seems it is very difficult to get an entry point for me to try my frist application with open office writer integrated with my swing application.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
http://api.openoffice.org/
What my question is:
1. Where can I get the completed jar files for using the open office writer api for my java application?
2. Is there any step by step practical example for using the api? It seems that the above links are quite messy and difficult to find an entry point to get a start, but just contain many segments separated through out the web site.
Thanks much for any suggestion.

Information regarding OOo is not on Sun websites, or in these forums. There may be 3rd-party sites that have some info regarding OOo use.

Error while scheduling report for SAP users

Hi All,
We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi All,
Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
Thanks,
Chandra
